The Front Row

This was one of the biggest road wins in the entire season in college basketball. Louisville lost at home to Syracuse as No. 1. OSU just won at indiana when they were No. 2.

The postgame ceremonies lasted nearly 90 minutes as each senior and Coach Crean spoke. They presented them a Big Ten championship trophy, took a team photo and cut down the nets. How about that?

Of course, Michigan State had to do the same after Buckeyes beat them last year.

Our practice observations:

Historically it seems the selection commitee do not dramatically reseed teams based on conference championships..at least in the major conferences..

The Sagarin computer ratings has OSU at #4 in their politically correct, no points margins considered poll. That's the one that the NCAA committee might look at. OSU is #7 in the pure points version of that poll. That's the one that includes point margins and is the most accurate indicator of how teams might do head-to-head.

edit - for perspective, theoretically #4 would be a 1 seed and #7 would be a 2 seed.

From AP's Rusty Miller: OhioState has beaten three AP top-5 teams in same season for only fourth time (2011-12, 2006-07, and 1978-79)

Duke and OSU only teams to beat 3 top-5 teams this year

Duke's were Louisville, OSU and Miami

OSU's were Michigan, MSU and Indiana

Saw him on BTN show "Inside the Selection Process." He is a creepy looking and sounding guy on top of his outrageous projections.

I think the key to this team is they can change their make up in so many ways. They can play big, small, fast, etc. I think the bucks are that 3-4 seed team this year that higher seeds are nervous to play.

I am sure some of these "experts" do exactly what this Palm character is doing just to get a rise out of people and to draw attention to himself. Nothing more, nothing less.

I do not put too much thought or energy into all of these predictions. A 4-5 seed sounds about right....3 at best. Bring on Illinois and the B1G Tourney people.....

I think we're perhaps one of the most intriguing "rising seeds" because if you look across the landscape of the elites ranked above us I believe we are THE youngest team so the other programs are who they are to a degree at this point in the season where as our ceiling has not be reached yet with so many young guys in the mix and rapidly improving except for one (Amir Williams).
